| Jose with his pal Ronny... |
About two years ago I had an experience that involved feeling the
presence of God by my side. He guided and protected me from a lot of dangers.
One day a friend of mine invited me to go with her to church, because they
were having an evangelistic service. I decided to accept the invitation and
went along with my friend.
We went along and I enjoyed the preaching and how they shared Jesus. I
was very happy and started to go every Sunday to church.
One Sunday I went to church and everything started out great. I liked feeling the joy of the Lord and the thrill
of being together with other Church folk who also loved the Lord.
I felt very happy because before I knew Christ, I did not believe in him.
Things would happen to me in my life, and I would be like “why are these things
happening to me? Why do these bad things ALWAYS happen to me?” I would start
crying and felt like I didn’t have answers to my questions.
Most of the time I felt like life wasn’t worth living and that there was
no point in going on, and that life just didn’t make sense.
Living life like that, meant that there was no meaning for me. It made
me push people away. I felt invisible. I did not want to talk to anyone. People
would talk to me and I would answer them with unkind words.
I hated everyone and I didn’t care about anyone. I felt invincible. But
when I went to that church, everything changed and I felt comforted.
One day, the service went on for a little longer than usual. After the
service, some brothers from church offered me a lift in their car and dropped
me at a bus stop. I waited a long time for the bus, my mode of transport for
getting home, but it never came.
I was very scared because my house was a long way away from where I had
been waiting for the bus. So I started to pray to Jesus. I asked him, “Lord,
please protect me from danger and don’t let anything bad happen to me. Please take
care of me.”
At that very moment, I started to walk to my house. I needed to go
through places that were very dangerous, where bad things happen. I kept on
walking and praying asking God to protect me.
I did not know the way, because the city is big and at times I felt lost.
Yet God guided me with the wind. He directed me and told me which way to go. I
went through places that might have been dangerous, but no one came out to hurt
me.
The trip home on a bus takes about an hour, but God assisted me and my
travel time was not too long - I arrived home in just an hour and a half! I was
safe and unharmed, ALL thanks to God.
At that moment I knew that he was always with me protecting me. When you
have problems that feel pretty hard, ask Jesus to help you, because he is
always aware, no matter what. Never lose faith. Faith moves mountains!
Always trust the Lord, because he will help you with the hardest
problems of your life.

Hace como dos años yo tuve una
experiencia inolvidable en la que dios estuvo a
mi lado y me guio y me protegió de muchos peligros, un día una amiga me
invito que fuera a su iglesia que avía un encuentro y yo acepte ir con ella
fuimos la primera vez y me gusto como predicaban y como se expresaban de Jesús
yo muy contento empecé a ir todos los domingo solo a la iglesia, un domingo que
fui a la iglesia todo empezó muy alegre me gustaba mucho sentir el gozo del
señor la alegría que se sentía el ambiente con los hermanos era muy agradable
esa experiencia y me sentía muy feliz yo antes de conocer a dios no creía en el
porque me pasaban cosas que yo decía porque a mí porque solo a mí me pasa esto
y yo me ponía a orar y sentía que no
tenía respuestas a mis preguntas mucha beses pensé que la viada no era nada que
no valía la pena vivir que la vida no tenía sentido me quise apartar de las
personas yo me sentía invisible no quería hablar con nadie a todo el que me
hablaba bien yo le contestaba mal, era alguien odioso que no me importaban los
demás solo era yo me sentía como invencible más que los demás pero desde el
momento que fui a esa iglesia todo cambio me sentía reconfortado.
Un
día se me hiso tarde en la iglesia y unos hermanos me fueron a dejar a la
estación de buces y yo me quede esperando el bus para ir a mi casa y nunca paso
por que ya era muy noche yo muy asustado por que mi casa quedaba lejos le
comencé a orar a Jesús y le decía señor protégeme de todo peligro que no me
pase nada cuídame guárdame y en ese
momento decidí caminar hasta mi casa tenía que pasar por lugares muy peligrosos
donde avían muchos delincuentes y cosas malas peor yo por dentro cuando iba
caminando le decía señor protégeme yo no conocía el camino por que la ciudad es
algo grande y me sentía perdido pero el señor me guiaba con el viento, cuál era
el camino correcto pase por lugares que tal vez eran peligrosos y no me salía
nadie a hacerme daño el camino de regreso en ruta era de casi una hora en
autobús y dios me iso el camino más
corto llegue en hora y media a mi casa sano y salvo gracias a dios y desde ese
momento yo sentí que él siempre estuvo con migo protegiéndome cuando tengan un
problema que sientan que es difícil para ustedes pídanle a Jesús el señor que
él está ateto a sus peticiones sea cual sea nunca pierdan la fe la fe mueve
montañas.
